About

Altus Wealth Management provides discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals, trusts and charitable organizations. The firm manages approximately $405 million across about 285 client relationships and delivers separate-account management through three models — Altus Select, Altus Premier and Altus Preservation — in addition to hourly financial planning engagements.

Its investment approach combines Modern Portfolio Theory with tactical asset allocation and relative strength analysis, seeking diversified exposure with an emphasis on low-cost ETFs and mutual funds for equity allocations and individual fixed-income securities for its higher-asset and Preservation strategies. Portfolios are monitored continuously and are generally positioned for multi-year holding periods, and the firm sometimes offers access to limited private offerings to qualified investors.

Noteworthy aspects of the firm include a dedicated Preservation model focused on individual fixed-income securities and a stated practice of discretionary-only management while declining authority to vote client proxies. Altus also discloses potential personal-trading overlaps, maintains a formal code of ethics and compliance procedures to address conflicts, and notes staff involvement in community financial counseling and a foundation board with some overlap among clients.
